Reports are beginning to emerge that the mega wealthy donor classes who support the rethugs are getting more and more dissatisfied with him, especially after this shutdown stunt of his. If the markets keep being erratic and the tariff situation continues to wreak more havoc on the farmers in the Midwest and affect domestic production of manufactured items that require foreign steel and other imports, we may see a deepening of their loathing for him.
